First saw Adrian in a country band in the 60's in a country band, we were looking around for the steel guitarist, then realised there wasn't one, it was just Adrian and his Telecaster, awesome!
Adrian is the best! One of my favs, thanks for posting, his stretch technique is super-human, nobody can do it like him, I saw him do this one years ago, here he pulls it off flawlessly!
this tune is called Chicken Licken's Last Ride. It was originally recorded on his Techno Picker LP and then later showed up on a CD in a newer, re-recorded version.
Saw Adrian perform this live once, the man has bionic hands! His stretches are out of this world! If you have ever tried these stretches, nearly impossible for most of us! Adrian Legg is one of the very best guitarists out there, you gotta see this amazing fingerstyle player if you get the chance.
How Legg does what he does - take an Ovation Adamas, use a 12 string neck, change out the nut and bridge, wind up with a 6 string with a wide neck. String it 10-46 with low action, and bingo !! Ovation pickups arent pressure sensitive so you can go light or medium. its all good.

There is no one like Adrian Legg, the man is unigue in his playing.

Helps to do finger stretch exercises.
What’s the name of this tune?
@@ChadRevels chicken licken’s last ride
Nothing the man cant do !!! ... from Jimi to Django it looks so easy with Adrian!
I wish the rest of the interview was there, but it's a joy, anyway.
OMG the man was a Wizard and if you deny his talent then you are denying his Wizardry
Those double stop bends.........
Crazy how he makes it look so easy
Amazing
thank adrian
I have come to the conclusion that his fingers have been grafted on by a blacksmith.
Smokin!!!

he does that with banjo tuners. He plays with the tuning pegs while he is picking. he's an amazing picker.
For an acoustic, those bends sure seem to come easily. These vets have sick strength in their fretting hands.
I think he uses light gauge strings, but still..
anybody knows if adrian play with nylon strings or another kind of special strings? how can bend and make that sound too easily?
He plays with electric strings.
Reminds me of Jerry Donohue.
he makes a regular guitar sound like a steel guitar.
It's his facility for bending notes in the middle of a chord. It's just mindblowing the control this man has over his instrument.
he is really looks like phill colins.
but playing great
This hasn't got anything to do with banjo tuners - it's string-bending (009e'), nothing else here on that song.
